This is an implantable lead connector assembly for connecting electrode leads implanted into the brain to implantable devices. The lead connector assembly preferably includes at least one interposer for holding a lead electrode, a connector housing, a fastener, and electrical connection members that electrically link the electrode lead connections to the to pins projecting from the lead connector assembly. Electrical contact between the electrode lead and the external pins of the connector assembly is accomplished by closing the connector housing. Multiple electrical leads may be connected in this way and the electrical contacts between the connector and the electrode lead are sealed from each other and from external fluids. A method for connecting an implantable electrode lead to an implantable device using such an implantable connector is also provided.
